update-cracklib

NAME

update-cracklib - Regenerate cracklib dictionary

SYNOPSIS

update-cracklib

DESCRIPTION

update-cracklib
builds a compressed and accumulated version of wordlists stored in the
directories given in cracklib's configuration file
/etc/cracklib/cracklib.conf. Programs using cracklib2 need this
database to be of any use.

By default this script is called by cron every day.

RESULT

update-cracklib
prints out two numbers: the number of words read from the ASCII
dictionaries and the number of words eventually written into the
cracklib database; if no error occurred, these should be equal.

0 is returned on success, otherwise an error message is printed to
standard error and -1 is returned.

FILES

/etc/cracklib/cracklib.conf

shell script that sets
cracklib_dictpath_src
which must be a space separated list of source dictionary files.
